How do outcomes affect a grant request?

When a grant request is considered for funding, the decision-makers will take into account:

who will benefit
what outcomes you expect to achieve as a result of what you are planning to do
how you will know what you’ve achieved or what difference you’ve made

by the numbers, e.g. who will participate or benefit?
by the stories, e.g. what feedback will you collect or stories will you be able to share?

They also consider the purposes, outcomes and benefits they are hoping to achieve through the grant investments they make.

How do outcomes affect how we report on a grant?

When it comes to reporting on a grant you may receive, the ōtinga kōrero or results report asks you to focus on

what happened
who benefitted
what outcomes were achieved and how you know what’s been achieved
by the numbers, e.g. how many people benefitted or participated
by the stories, what feedback did you receive from those who participated or benefitted.
